Overview of Dichloromethane

Dichloromethane (DCM), also referred to as methylene cyanide, is an organic solvent with a volatile nature that is widely utilised for chemical synthesis and pharmaceuticals, as well as paint stripping and industrial processes. It is admired for high solvency, a low boiling point and chemical stability across a range of formulations.

The chemical formula for Dichloromethane is CH2Cl2. Its structure is comprised of a carbon atom at the centre joined by two hydrogen atoms and two chlorine atoms. These provide powerful solvation properties. Dichloromethane can be miscible with a variety of organic solvents, and it is extensively utilised as a laboratory as well as industrial solvent.
